Run Away (Japanese: にげあし Run Away) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Fifteen Pokémon have this ability.
Effect
In battle
Run Away guarantees escape from a wild Pokémon unless a move such as Mean Look prevents escaping otherwise. Run Away also negates the effects of the abilities Shadow Tag and Arena Trap. When activated, the message "<name> escaped using Run Away." will appear.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and the sequel, a Pokémon with Run Away will become terrified and run from all Pokémon when its HP is down below 1/2. Leaders are unaffected.
Outside of battle
Run Away has no effect outside of battle.
Pokémon with Run Away
Single ability
As of Generation IV, no Pokémon have Run Away as their only ability.
